The public is overreacting to the fact that Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed what we already know: all the key players will be rested. This is good. Proven stars always go through the motions when they get one series max if they play in the HOF game. So we know Pittsburgh is playing only guys with something to prove.

Third-year quarterback Landry Jones will start and play a significant amount even the whole game. He continues to develop after playing in a college offense not designed to prepare one for the NFL. But Jones will play more than long enough to develop a rhythm and look for Pittsburgh to not be completely vanilla on offense.
As software gets more sophisticated, we were surprised and pleasantly so because it corroborated our old fashioned proven techniques, that underdogs of 3.5 or more that have at least 50 percent of the bets on them are rock-solid bets at 80-59 against the spread in the preseason.
